Fans of “Commands & Colors: Ancients” (CC:A) will be treated to three new scenarios in C3i Nr21. In issue Nr10 of C3i Dan Fournie presented the “Charles S Roberts Award” winning article “EQUUS: Cavalry Battles of the Second Punic War,” including five scenarios for SPQR. Two of these battles have already been presented as CC:A scenarios, Ticinus in the base game, and Castrum Album in C3i Nr20. Now Richard Borg has updated the final three battles for play with his elegant game system — Umbria, 217 BC, Maharbal’s masterful ambush of a hastily marching Roman cavalry force; Agathocles’ Tower, 204 BC, Scipio’s ambush of a large, overconfident Carthaginian mounted formation; Cirta, 203 BC, a swirling desert battle between Syphax on one side and Laelius and Masinissa on the other, that decided the fate of Numidia.

All three battles feature very large numbers of cavalry units, making for unusual, fast moving scenarios.
